While many of my dear friends are struggling to lose weight, I am looking for ways to GAIN some. Perhaps it's just the Gemini (sun) in me that makes me naturally thin, but it's to the point where I feel like I am compromising my health in some way.What can I do to (safely) gain some pounds? Also, do extremely thin women have trouble maintaining a healthy pregnancy or giving birth naturally? Anyone with insight, please do share your thoughts! It would be greatly appreciated. IP: Logged |

I know how you feel, I am also extremely thin. I have a Gemini Moon. But I keep thinking that I will grow out of it. Being skinny doesn't effect your overall health, and you'll be able to produce healthy children, and you will also be able to breast feed.-StarLover IP: Logged |

Well, I would say not to worry too much about it, unless it is affecting your health. Be sure to maintain a balanced diet and exercise frequently (sorry, don't mean to preach *blushes*). If you see anything wrong, see a doctor, especially if you are planning on pregnancy.

Ok...cool. I'm going to simplify this...but these are the steps you need to take: 1) Buy a blue bulb (75-100watts) for a brown, tan, blue, or green lamp (you can paint or buy the aforementioned lamp). you will shine this lamp on your solar plexus (stomach) for 15 minutes, and then on the soles of your feet for 15 minutes. WHILE doing this listen to recordings of environmental sounds (ie. ocean, birds, animals, etc), and/or pieces like 'moonlight sonata'. 2) you'll also need 8-10ounce electric blue glasses you should solarize them and then refrigerate them and then drink 2 glasses (of the 4) 3) visualize blue/green all around you recommended foods: - broccoli - blueberries - plums - blackberries - brown gravy/brown rice - green cabbage - sashimi - coffee - asparagus - spinach - kale - celery - basically anything colored green, blue, brown/tan - no red meat and there you go IP: Logged |

OdessaStar,One of the down sides I have about being very thin, is that I don't have the ideal breast size. Is that how you feel? That's is my only problem with being very thin. -StarLover IP: Logged |

Yes, I've had a problem with this for quite a while. Just like someone who would be over weight the worst part is shopping. For instance I hate buying and wearing dresses, because none of the dresses that I buy are flattering torward my small breasts. That eliminates all dresses that are not v-shaped. Because of this I look like a very little girl, and that bothers me. I hate shopping in the bra section because most of the bras for small women are either padded or they don't help the cause whatsoever. I'm not totally worried because I am a high school girl, and my body could still be growing, I'm not sure exactly. No I don't have any children, nor does any other person in my family have small breasts like me. The smallest in my family is either a B or larger. So it leads me to believe that it has everything to do with what is going on in my head. I think part of your imbalance, and there is an imbalance, is that you're either extremely introverted or you just don't get out of your house much. I have this problem, and I believe being unpopular and almost friendless in high school is partly to blame if not myself. Now there is definitely a solution, and I would never ever in a million years go under the knife. Not only for moral reasons, but also for health and safety. Your breast size is just as temporary as your waistline. I believe the size of a womens breast go up and down as they get older, especially when they have children. I've never tried, but some women claim that taking birth control pills will help you gain weight and breast size. However, you may not want to do this becuase birth control pills also have their con. You could also try herbal pills for breast size but that also would fall under a con. Now, under many options, I have found one option that interests me very much, and this could very well be your last resort, so I think someday I'll give it a try myself. Don't feel shy, I think it will be effective. Here goes... Hypnosis Breast Enhancement. It's completely natural, and it's controlled by you alone well also guided by a CD. You can actually buy a cd to help hypnotize yourself. Under hypnotism you can actually MIND your breasts to grow larger and firmer. Beacause I believe in mind over matter I agree with this product. I know the website looks cheesy, but the product is effective since I've read some of the testimonials. I know that doesn't help much, but if you review the cd, and then attempt the exercises where could it hurt? You never know, I would give it a try, it's also extremely easy and affordable. http://www.nzhypnosis.com/breast-enhancement-cd.html Good luck, I've never tried it, but if it works for you it will probably work for me. There are other websites that claim the same thing, I'm thinking this will grow in popularity soon enough. There other websites with the same idea, but different product. I have a feeling the above will work best.

Star, I used to date a girl like you. When we broke up, she went back with her first love, married him, and had a baby. She no longer has that problem (not that I thought it was a problem). She filled out nicely. ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

starlover, I have tried it all...the hypnosis cd did not work for me. I have tried several. I am over age 22, so I am "stuck" like this until I have children someday. I have tried bc pills and developed a pulmonary embolist and nearly died. I am still on anti-coagulants because of it. It wasn't worth it. Bra shopping is very depressing for me, I can totally relate to your concerns. IP: Logged |

I'm so sorry Purplezen! Is it something that runs in your family?The whole introversion theory comes from an old psychological theory that body types are shaped by our personalities. For instance, they say people on the big side are supposed to be jolly and extroverted. Those with muscular bodies are athletic. Those who are very skinny are supposed to be very intellectual and introverted. I just thought it may have been valid in your case. Yet there are plenty of other reasons for your body type. -StarLover IP: Logged |
